Products & Applications
Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.
For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!
Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!
xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

Introducing the "Public Build Project", with an Events Calendar
12/20/2008 05:15:09 PM by Chris Toohey
I've been playing with this idea for a while now, and was just recently given an opportunity via a customer project to do it! The plan is to have an ongoing series here that details a project build, from the initial architecture phase to deployment. And as an added bonus, I plan on providing the build project application a download on this site at the end of the build/post-deployment.
So for our first Public Build project - which is due December 31st (it's an End of Year thing) - is a relatively simple Events Calendar. The Events Calendar (or EC) will allow a group of event coordinators to post and maintain event entries while allowing authenticated users to sign-up for attendance to an event. The client usage scenarios will be for both the Lotus Notes client and the Web Browser client, so we'll need to make this solution both functional AND portable.
Starting Monday, you'll see a flood of posts discussing a (hopefully) complete list of requirements as well as a pseudo-scope of work. From there, we'll start a deep-dive into the development process with screencasts and blog entries outlining exactly what I'm doing. Outside of a minor break for the holidays (or at least until the family is nestled, all tucked in their beds) I expect to get quite chattery in this space for the next two weeks.
The EC Public Build will hopefully be a first in an ongoing series of projects that hit that sweet spot of 1) being useful to more people in their base build than just the intended customer and 2) being at least somewhat interesting to you, Constant Reader!

There is a definite need for a tool like this on Domino. Are you planning on integrating it with the user calendar? In other words, when you register for an event it will use the standard free time lookup and then add the event to the user calendar? I have something like this now, but it doesn't handle rescheduling the event or users canceling after registering.
Thanks!
Sweet. Christmas has come early.
Thanks man.

Awesome! Can't wait...
This is cool on so many levels. A blue print for new developers on how a seasoned pro does a project from start to finish. For me, a look back at what I did for the first 8 years out of college.
@Ed:
Not quite that deep - I wanted to keep this simple due to the deadline and the functional requirements. So this application will JUST be an Events Calendar and Event "registration" - with a shared mail database on the backend (or an organizers mail database - I don't care!) doing the C&S heavy lifting.
C&S is buggy enough without me trying to re-create the wheel...
@Erskine:
Or late - remember, this isn't due until December 31st!
@Ray: ;-)
@Yancy:
... now all we need is this seasoned pro that you speak of and we'll be good to go! :-P
Are you still working on this project? I am particularly interested in the web calendar functionality. I have looked all over and not found anything nice for a week-view other than the iNotes template, which I tried to analyze but failed miserably.
